I always dreamed of traveling to China, and finally, I achieved it through NCT. We visited Zhangjiajie, Guilin, and Beijing, and each stop was unforgettable. Special thanks to Sally, who was very friendly and professional, making our journey smoother. Don, the driver in Beijing, was excellent, always punctual and helpful. The service of the NCT team made us feel very comfortable and happy. The wonderful memories of this trip will remain in my heart forever.

From the moment we started planning our trip with travel advisor Stella to the moment we returned to the airport, everything went smoothly, thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of the NCT team. The hotel facilities were beautiful, and the staff were always very attentive and friendly. Our driver and guide, Andy and Frank, were very friendly and knowledgeable. Talking to them about anything related to China, whether it's history, politics, or culture, was always a pleasure. Stella made sure we were well-prepared, answered every question, sent very useful guides, and left no detail unaddressed in our planning. Highly recommend them!

We used NCT (Nihao China Tour) to arrange our 8-day trip to China, visiting Chengdu, Shanghai, and Beijing, and just returned two weeks ago. I have to say, this experience was amazing! They did a really wonderful job. All the bookings, drivers, tour guides, hotels, dinners, and lunches at local restaurants were exceptional. But what truly stood out was how they handled unexpected situations during our trip. I highly recommend their services; they are worth every penny!
